What are Square Micrometer and Barn

Definition of Square Micrometer

A square micrometer (µm²) is a metric unit of area equal to one trillionth of a square meter, or one millionth of a square millimeter. It is commonly used in fields like materials science and microfabrication to measure extremely small surface areas.

Definition of Barn

A barn is a non-SI unit of area used in nuclear physics to quantify the cross-sectional area of atomic nuclei and scattering events. One barn equals 10^-28 square meters, signifying a very small area comparable to the size of a uranium nucleus.
